The Tarot Justice reminds us that there is a consequence for everything. All primary religious scriptures consistently point to this. The biblical lesson the Tarot Justice provides is one of forgiveness because life will not always be fair. An "eye for an eye" just doesn't work in the realm of spiritual development. Neither do absolutes. There are no absolutes, including Heaven or Hell. We tend to view consequences through earthly judgments, which are often influenced by prejudices rooted in negative emotions and biases. Negative emotions are of no benefit to either the betrayer or the betrayed, which is why justice should always be accompanied by forgiveness. Forgiveness lifts the veil and frees us to see the truth, allowing all to heal by enabling us to use our conscience in considering what is just and what isn't.

NOTE: In the original Tarot deck, the Justice card was in the 8th position. It was not moved to the 11th position until much, much later, by Arthur Waite.
